Human height is an important aspect of the personality. Though genetics plays a vital role in determining it, physical exercises to increase height always remains a viable option for those challenged with short stature, prior to a certain age.

Why Exercises to Increase Height?

Every activity inside the body is primarily a chemical reaction. It is initiated and terminated by signaling molecules known as hormones. They are produced by organs called glands and are separated so as to allow them to get dissolved in the blood stream. This process is called secretion.

Researchers at the Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UK in 2003, reported that along with sleep, exercise does act as a stimulus for the secretion of human growth hormone (hGH).

Though the exact mechanism underlying this effect is not known, the study proved that load and frequency of resistance training are the determining factors in the regulation of hGH secretion and for initiating exercise-induced growth hormone response (EIGR). This response is found to even delay the negative effects of aging on height raise.

Some Exercises to Increase Height are:

Stretching – This exercise strengthens the muscles and reduces the compressions of the discs of the invertebrate. The cartilages of the spine become thick and lengthen it increasing the height.

Hanging – The effect of gravity on the body is that it compresses the spines and makes the tissues which support the structure become thinner. This gives an appearance of being short. Hanging counteracts to this affect by making the lower torso weight stretch the spine and decrease the pull on the vertebrate. The height is known to increase by one to two inches.

Procedure: A horizontal bar should be placed high enough so as to allow the entire body to extend. In case, the whole body cannot extend, it will suffice if the knees are bend slightly to allow hanging freely. While grasping the bar, the palms should face away and the thumbs must touch. If the arms, shoulders, and hips are allowed to relax, the gravity effectively pulls the body further. Wearing ankle weights increase the benefits of this exercise to increase height. The process should last for 20 seconds at least followed by a gap and repeated three times for sure.

Dry Land Swim: It is also known as the Alternate Leg Kick and focuses on the lower back. To perform this exercise, a person has to lay down flat on the stomach and extend the body completely.

Procedure: The arms should be stretched in the forward direction with the palms facing the floor. One arm should be lifted higher than the other, say the left arm is placed above the right. Keeping the legs in straight position, the right leg should be raised off the ground as much as possible. In the initial stages, this position should be maintained for at least 4 seconds before repeating the process on another leg. However, the aim should be to reach a stage where this position is continued for 20 seconds. In order to increase the effectiveness of this exercise to increase height, wrist and ankle weights can be added to the workout. It enhances the stamina and tone up the lower back muscles further.

Pelvic Shift: It is one of the favorite exercises to increase height for all fitness instructors. It is involves a feeling of the spine and hips been stretched up and down quickly.

Procedure: The exercise begins by the person lying on the back with the shoulders and arms firmly placed on the floor. The knees should be bent and the feet should be brought as close to the buttocks a possible. The back should be now brought to an arch shape letting the pelvis to thrust upwards. This position is to be held for at least 20 seconds initially, later extending it to 30 seconds. Conclusion: As with any fitness regime, exercises to increase height should be carried out regularly to see the benefits within appropriate time frame.

hi there. my name is Rhy and I’m 5″6. I wanted to grow taller. I’m taller than my father. I feel so short whenever I go out or go to school. I’m in college now and high school students happened to be taller than I am. Is there any exercise that I can do to grow taller. A food plan is also good. Please reply. Thanks.

Dear Sir,
I am Raj. I am 25 years of age. I am 5.2 i.e 157 cms. I attained this height when i am 16 years of age. my parents are shorter. I understand my situation of heredity at that age it self so tried whatever possible exercises,pills,workouts,nutritious foods and drinks,games,sprints,jogging,jumping,skipping,hanging,upside down hanging.

All these exercises are having 10 years of age that means i a performed these exercises right from my age of 15.

Which means i am not getting any result from these workouts. I am unable to put the blame on my parents since they are shorter or on me because if any one performed these exercises for 1 year they would have grown 6 feet height ,that much intensity was there in my exercise.

With these situation i could not talk to my friends, I always stay away from my friends because they make fun of me all the time. I will not be able to marry a girl or find a girl as a partner because they are taller than me, and if someone is shorter than me , they want guy who is of tall in height. So i am out of the market.

Regarding the corporates i gets rejected even though i had performed well in interview and written exams conducted by them. This means i am finding difficult to get a job with my short in height.

So kindly suggest a solution for my issue other wise i don’t want to live in this place i would quit from life. I will commit suicide.
awaiting your favorable response.
